All's fair in love and hockey. . .

As his team's enforcer on the ice, Sebastian Deveau is America's favorite fighting Frenchman. But he's just as likely to get into trouble off the ice--especially when it comes to women.

Shayne Beckford is so over hockey. It ruined her parents' marriage. It spoiled her brother's dreams. And let's not even talk about her college boyfriend . . . So when Sebastian Deveau walks into her brother's gym, she has no idea who he is. All she knows is that he's one gorgeous man with the sexiest accent she's ever heard. And since she never has to see him again, she lets him give her the best orgasm of her life right on top of the gym's dryer.

But Sebastian isn't going to let this one-night stand get away so easily. He fights for what he wants, even if it takes fighting a little dirty . . .

I am nothing if not competitive and I will not let this man – this delectable stranger - feel like he’s won some kind of Flirt Off.  I don’t pull back far from the kiss, just enough to break our contact. My eyes flutter open at the same time his do and any hint of that smile on his lips is gone. I see the debate flickering behind those unreal crystal blue eyes and dark, heavy eyebrows. I feel the hesitation. His hand on my jaw gets looser. His thumb lifts up like it’s going to sweep my lips again, but it doesn’t. He stops because I pulled back and it’s made him uncertain. Good. I don’t want to be the only one off-balance here. But he doesn’t want to stop – I can sense that, feel his desire radiating off of him. I can see the debate in his head dancing behind those light eyes. Does he play it cool and wait for me to make another move, or does he just go for what he wants, admitting to himself and to me, that he can’t resist just as much as I can’t? 

He tightens his grip on me and I smile for the briefest second before it’s forced from my face when he leans in and captures my lips again. This time he’s the one who gave in. Now we’re even.

Release Day Blitz - Wanted (FBI Heat, #3) by Marissa Garner

Wanted
FBI Heat, #3 
by Marissa Garner 
Release Date: September 6th 2016 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 


From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Wanted (FBI Heat, #3) . . .
Kat has a problem on her hands. There are things not quite adding up at work. The one person to help happens to be part of her past. Part of a past she just cut and bailed on.

Dillion was that past that Kat left behind, but know he is the key to helping fix the future of millions of lives. With the lives of millions at stake and Kat doing the asking he comes in and works to save the day. But of course there are obstacles in their way.

I did not walk in on an on-going plotline. I did not walk in on an ongoing series connection, that I would have felt a loss of information. I did get me a second chance at the one romance with some dramatic suspense and intrigue. I got a complete start to finish with not cliff hangers, not added cast that have to know what their story was, and not muddled confusion.  I did get me an honest to goodness romantic suspense. Why did she leave? Why did he not follow/fight? Why was this happening? Where did it all start? How are these things connected?

Pick it up if you are looking for a simple down to earth romantic suspense. One that you don’t have to have all the proceeding books in the series read to follow.

BLURB
For San Diego’s elite FBI agents, risking their lives is standard procedure when it comes to capturing the city’s most dangerous criminals—but falling in love is the greatest risk of all.

Kat MacKenzie knows something is terribly wrong at the Diablo Beach Nuclear Power Plant, but she can’t figure out if it’s computer error, equipment malfunction, or human sabotage. Unfortunately, the only person she can trust with the problem is the man she left at the altar two years ago. If Dillon doesn’t already hate her, he surely will once he discovers why she abandoned him.

The last person he expects to call him is the woman who broke his heart. But FBI Special Agent Dillon O’Malley can’t ignore Kat’s plea for help—not when national security may be at stake. As enemies become clear and catastrophe threatens, can Kat and Dillon put the past behind them to save the day and secure their future?

Release Day Blitz - Vengeance (Valentine Shepherd, #1) by Shana Figueroa

Vengeance
Valentine Shepherd, #1 
by Shana Figueroa 
Release Date: September 6th 2016 
Publisher: Forever & Forever Yours | Grand Publishing 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 


From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Vengeance (Valentine Shepherd, #1) . . .
Explosive action, increasing body count, all the way/around the way/any way sexual encounters. P-l-o-t. Plot. And more plot. There was a huge does of wtf, really, are you kidding me, oh no, say that again. I just can’t tell you the details. You have to read this one for yourself. Did that really happen? No! You have to be pulling my leg.

You step in the pages with a mindset that this will be your everyday romantic suspense. But when you reach the end and come out the other end you will say that I got me a serious romantic SUSPENSE. You are not certain that who you think is what really what you thought. And what you thought should be what you think. You are taken there and then further. You have to put the brakes on and slow down to make sure what you read was indeed what you read.

You have to meet these characters yourself. Because they are characters. An antihero with serious cargo on board. A heroine that has issues with getting things right. When I got to the end I was so caught up in all that I read that I almost forgot where I started with Val and Max. You be the judge.

Not every Valentine is a saint . . .

Corruption. Greed. Illicit sex. Murder. Private investigator Valentine Shepherd thinks she's seen it all, and her strange ability to glimpse the future gives her an edge no one else in the world has. But when her fiancé is killed trying to exonerate his client, billionaire Max Carressa, Val makes it her personal mission to bring the people responsible to justice, no matter the cost. Convinced the two men are linked by more than attorney-client privilege, she enlists Max's help in her investigation and gets more than she bargained for . . .

On the run, Val and Max must uncover who wants them dead and why. The answer leads them to a conspiracy that has Val herself at its center. She doesn't understand how or why, but time is running out to expose the truth and escape the danger she knows is coming . . .

EXCERPT
Val sprinted down the narrow passage, crashing through mud puddles and leaping over bags of trash that littered her escape route. She followed the alley when it turned right, scanning her path for any opening into the street that might save her life. Before she found a way out, the alley dead-ended at a tarp-covered chain-link fence with barbed wire on top and a padlock trapping her inside.
“No!” Val yanked on the padlock. It didn’t budge. She tried the only door in the alley, a metal behemoth flush with the brick—locked. “Goddammit, no!” She kicked the door, and it barely moved.
Val pulled out her pistol and pressed herself into the corner of the alley’s dead end. She’d been in firefights before while in the military, though not against American citizens, and not alone. She didn’t stand much of a chance against two armed cops when she had nowhere to hide and no cover for support. In all her visions she’d never seen her own death. There was no reason this couldn’t be it.
But she’d be damned if she was going down without a fight. Val planted her feet on the wet pavement, gun trained at the alleyway’s bend, ready to shoot the first thing that entered her line of sight. The rain picked up, an icy October shower that matted her hair to her face and would have chilled her to the bone if not for the wild adrenaline racing through her veins. For what seemed like an eternity she listened to the approaching footsteps and stood her ground, waiting to die.
Then she heard it—a chain rattling. Val ripped her gaze away from where her killers were due to arrive any second to see a set of bolt cutters slip through the fence and snap the padlock off. The chain slinked to the ground, and someone pulled the gate open.
One of her pursuers had somehow doubled back, and now they surrounded her.
Val spun around to face her flanker, finger on the trigger to let loose a hail of bullets into Sten or his friend’s smug face. She gasped and just barely stopped herself from firing as she registered Max Carressa standing in front of her, holding the bolt cutters and recoiling from her gun. She hardly recognized him in jeans and a black motorcycle jacket, a baseball cap deflecting the rain out of his startled face, though his gorgeous eyes were a dead giveaway.
“What the hell?” she said.
Max grabbed her arm. “Come on!” He glanced behind her, where Chet’s murderers thundered up, just around the corner. “Do you wanna die here or not?”
